I hunted today.  2 places had Acid Storm as well as 2 others I called.  Passed.  Burnsville had that Grimlock and Bruticus set.  Very cool, but not a MP or close enough to G1 for me. 


I contemplated ordering a Soundwave on ebay but passed on it.  I can neither stomach nor afford having non-functional items in my life right now.  ::)

Don't go e-bay, There's only scalpers there. Wait once a week, just call your local TRU. ask if they have any, otherwise you'll just waste gas.

I didn't like how the Grimlock looked in dino form.  In Burnsville, there wasn't a security cable on it.  The gal up front said they keep the MP's in the back :idiot2:  but that dual pack was more than the no-name Acid Storm - which I've never heard of before you showed it.:dontknow:

^ It's b-cuz what they have is the true color from the video game FOC.  N that is from the SDCC fair, which he was 99.99  without grimlock.  that whole set is 99.99 but you get grimlock for free.
 And he is in his MP08 color  Scheme with the gold Chrome. that is the Difference. And they are the platinum set. Gonna be rear to find it in the future

In dino form, Grimlock's dino tummy was hollow.  They look too plasticky for me.

^^ That I have to agree with you. His Dino is hallow and he's small in that form, however his robot mold is where he shines best. Hasbro could of engineer him a lot better but they didn't. However there's not a lot of TF grimlock out there. other then the MP Geimlock. When he came out to TRU, he was about 79.99. Now he goes as much as 289-300+. And man I am so kicking myself for not getting 2. With that platnium set  scalpers will try to rig you a new hole on e-bay. No thank you.

Wen the TRU MP soundwave came out. I looked at e-bay for the 1st time and a few of them were being bid at 300-400 marker. With that doe. You can pick yourself up a Taraka Tomy MP sound or MP Grimlock.

The leader class or voyger? And what I meant is the big one or the medium sizes or the little ones? There's about half a dozen Prime and Sentinal out there.

Just the little/medium ones.  I don't have enough shelf space otherwise I'd get the whole collection of them.

@ Ron... Nice, Now are you gonna open him up and play with or just gonna try to fight it from opening and keep him in minted box?

I know it is very hard to fight that temptation not to open  him... I fight my urge not to open my MP Skywrap N Grimlock. Everytime I look at them. Heck mostly mines are minted box. So that's just make it tat much harder for me to fight it. I've giving in and opened a few already.

@ Lilly, they are very nice toy, However the DOTM figures. I hate those mech Tech weapons.
But they are a fun toy. Easy to TF and play with.. Some of the toys are way too complicated to TF or you feel like it's gonna break...

Check out the IDW TF's yet? If you are... Don't get the IDW bee, he sucks. I hate the panels in his legs..Such pain in the rear and he is not a fun toy.
